12 days and counting…

It’s that time again, when authors share snippets from a WIP or a new release, or maybe an upcoming release.

I’m counting the days until The Pinch of the Game appears on Dreamspinner’s Coming Soon page, and that’s got me thinking about things like how the story began and how it will be received. I can’t affect the latter, so i’m dwelling on the former. This snippet is part of the original flash piece. The first line is Jeffrey’s.

“Don’t look at me like that when you’re… like that. It’s wrong on so many levels.”

Here’s a little extra, since i’m not giving any intro to the snippet. This is part of the dedication for The Pinch of the Game.

To Siobhan Muir, the brilliant mind and sharp eyes behind Thursday Threads and Teddy Bear Thursdays. This story would never have been written without you.

Thank you, Siobhan, for your friendship and support. I love the way you do Thursdays. *hugs*

Oh, Charley, thank you so much. ❤ I recognized the prompt immediately, but I'm so pleased it developed into a full story. Great snippet. And you're welcome for the friendship (and for Thursdays. They've become my favorite day.) 🙂

Hmm! A lot going on in this little piece here… Sounds like your characters have some very special abilities that they are using. I confess being a bit lost, but not in a bad way, more in a “I need more’ way
